It’s a well-known fact that the success of the Florida State Seminoles last year was primarily due to the historic performance of ball boy Red Lightning. Sure, Jameis Winston was good. But he would have been nothing without equipment manager Frankie Grizzle-Malgrat, who could be seen sprinting down the sidelines on just about every FSU scoring play like some […]

Week one of the 2014 college football season is in the books, and while Texas A&M QB Kenny Hill more or less stole the show with his 44-for-60, 511-yard, three-TD, zero-pick performance, a couple of other preseason Heisman favorites also turned in some strong performances. The first is Georgia running back Todd Gurley. On Saturday […]

If given the opportunity, the Eastern Illinois Panthers would probably take a do-over on their season opener last night. They played the Minnesota Golden Gophers in Minnesota, and they didn’t just lose. They got pounded, 42-20. In fact, it was so bad that some of the Panthers players just wanted to punch somebody in the […]

The 2014 college football season got underway last night, and while the biggest story was probably the performance of QB Kenny Hill in No. 21 Texas A&M’s annihilation of No. 8 South Carolina, we also shouldn’t overlook the game between No. 18 Ole Miss against Boise State. That game definitely will not go down as […]

Just in time for the start of the 2014 college football season, Nissan and ESPN have teamed up for a fantastic new series of commercials starring Johnny Manziel and some of the other great Heisman Trophy winners. The premise? Since winning the Heisman gets you a membership in an exclusive fraternity, what would it be […]

It turns out USC cornerback Josh Shaw did sprain his ankles after jumping off a balcony last Saturday. However, he admitted that he totally fabricated the part about saving his drowning nephew, and now he’s been suspended indefinitely from the USC football team. Of course, there are still so many questions that remain unanswered. Obviously, […]

You know that awesome story about how USC Trojans cornerback Josh Shaw sprained his ankled while heroically saving his 7-year-old nephew from drowning? Yeah well, about that, it turns out it might not be true. Yesterday, as the story started to go viral, numerous news outlets sought to talk to Shaw, his nephew, or other […]

You never like to hear that your favorite football team is going to be without one of its key players. However, if it has to happen, you’d rather it be for a good reason and not, say, because campus police busted him for smoking weed in his dorm. I bing this up because the USC […]

It’s been a pretty interesting offseason for Florida State Seminoles quarterback Jameis Winston. First the Heisman Trophy winner got into a bench-clearing brawl while playing with the Seminoles baseball team. Then he got arrested for shoplifting crab legs from a grocery store. Then we got to hear an audio recording of the 911 call placed when […]

Michael Sam came out as gay to his teammates on the University of Missouri football team last year, but he didn’t come out as gay to the public until after he had declared for the NFL draft. And that meant the answer to the trivia question, “who was the first openly gay Division I college football […]

As you may or may not know, sports trivia is not the forte of most Jeopardy contestants. And for that reason, over the years, there have been some pretty terrible but hilarious responses to sports clues. We’ve seen a lady who thought Johnny Manziel went to Alabama, a guy who thought Cam Newton went to Ohio State, and a guy who thinks Sidney […]

If you really want to get people to say mean things about you on the internet, just shoot some endangered animals and post the pictures on Facebook. That’s what Kendall Jones did recently. The 19-year-old Texas Tech cheerleader has been a big game hunter since she was 13. However, nobody knew who she was until last […]

On Sunday, the players, coaches, students, and fans of Auburn University got some pretty terrible news. Former Tigers tight end Philip Lutzenirchen, 23, was killed along with another man, 22, in a single-car crash in LaGrange, Georgia. Lutzenirchen set an Auburn record for tight ends with 14 career touchdowns and was a key contributor on […]

On Tuesday night, North Carolina A&T linebacker Jermane Clark was shot and killed outside his home in Greensborough, NC. Police don’t know, or at least have not revealed, much about the shooting so far. All we know is that Clark was “approached” by one or more people around 11 p.m. ET. Shortly thereafter an argument […]

Yesterday we told you about a massive hit Miami Hurricanes linebacker Denzel Perryman laid on Gus Edwards, his own teammate, at the Hurricanes’ 2014 spring game. And, at the time, we bemoaned the fact that we didn’t have a better angle from which to view the epic decleating. Well, complain and ye shall receive. It […]
